All Killed!

Rocket Raccoon was repairing the ship with something resembling a 3D printer. When he suddenly saw Li Congxin and Daisy appear, he was startled, then sprang far away with a whoosh. He swiftly removed the rocket launcher hanging from his shoulder, pointed it at Li Congxin, and said, "What do you want?"

At the same time, the giant tree-man, over two meters tall, stepped forward and blocked Rocket Raccoon behind him. "I am Groot!"

Li Congxin ignored the two of them and simply turned his calm gaze toward Nebula, who was standing nearby in handcuffs. Without making any visible move, he caused the handcuffs on her wrists to turn into countless iron filings that scattered across the ground. Then came another sound of something cutting through the air. The Sword of the Night Sky, which the Guardians of the Galaxy had captured earlier, pierced through the ship’s storage-bay door under Li Congxin’s mental control and flew before Nebula.

With the sword in hand, Nebula once again transformed into her complete form—the one that had previously required the entire Guardians of the Galaxy to defeat!

Turning around, Li Congxin saw Rocket Raccoon restraining his expression while Groot looked ready to protect his companion with his life. Only then did he speak. "I have one piece of good news and one piece of bad news to tell you. Which one do you want to hear first?"

Hearing Li Congxin’s opening, Rocket Raccoon immediately wore a mocking expression. "The bad news is that you want to kill us. The good news is that you think it would be our honor?"

"Don’t be so hostile toward me." Li Congxin waved his hand. "I bear you no ill will."

If anyone else had dared to put on such an act in front of them, Rocket Raccoon would have shot his face to pieces long ago. However, Li Congxin’s terrifying strength, which had allowed him to kill Ronan right in front of them, remained fresh in their memories. To avoid dragging Groot into trouble with him, the little raccoon could only suppress his bad temper and speak calmly with Li Congxin.

Seeing that Li Congxin truly did not seem to intend to attack them for the moment, Rocket Raccoon thought it over and quickly grasped the key point. "Are the two things you mentioned earlier related to Quill’s father?"

Li Congxin nodded lightly and continued, "The good news is that the man called Ego really is Peter Quill’s father. The bad news is that he is absolutely not a good person."

Rocket Raccoon naturally did not believe everything Li Congxin said. In fact, all the members of the Guardians of the Galaxy maintained a certain degree of suspicion whenever they faced anyone.

There was nothing wrong with that.

Only by doing so could they survive a little longer in this chaotic universe.

Seeing their suspicion, Li Congxin continued without concern, "The Ego you saw earlier was merely one of his avatars. His true body is actually Ego Planet. Don’t look at me with such astonishment. The universe is vast and full of wonders. Just because you have never seen or even heard of something doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist."

Li Congxin explained all this in detail not only in hopes that they would cooperate with him willingly, but also for Daisy’s sake. He wanted to give this second-strongest Avenger, who was lacking only in experience, some proper training and let her gain more experience and so on.

Li Congxin had a feeling that there would definitely be a time when this knowledge would prove useful amid future crises.

After listening to Li Congxin say so much, Rocket finally asked his first question. "In other words, he didn’t come looking for Quill out of fatherly affection, but for some other reason?"

Li Congxin nodded lightly. "He wants to obtain power and immortality."

"Immortality?" This time, it was Daisy who asked the question. She could hardly believe her ears. "Didn’t you just say that he’s a living planet?"

"If that’s true, his life should be extremely long. Would he still need to use other methods to sustain his life?"

"Even the longest life will eventually reach its end." Li Congxin smiled. "To achieve true immortality, he chose to devour other planets to increase his power and lifespan. Earth is also within his hunting range. However, he planted too many seeds in the past—so many that he could no longer evolve them into beings capable of devouring a planet by himself. That was why he needed an offspring."

"And so, he used his avatars to fly to various planets, mate with women from different planets and races, then bring the offspring back. He wanted to use their power to fulfill his ambitions…"

At this point, Li Congxin shook his head lightly and said with slight displeasure, "Someone’s come to cause trouble while I’m talking. Can’t you let me finish properly?"

With that, he turned and walked outside the ship.

Without requiring any commands or operation, the central door opened automatically, without hindering his steps in the slightest.

Seeing Li Congxin leave the cabin, Daisy and Nebula naturally followed close behind. Rocket Raccoon and Groot exchanged a glance, then followed as well.

As soon as they stepped outside, everyone immediately felt powerful air pressure descending from the sky. It buffeted the surrounding branches, causing them to sway violently, while some weaker branches snapped on the spot. Under the immense pressure, Rocket Raccoon and Groot both found it somewhat difficult to breathe. Li Congxin and the others, however, remained completely calm. Even Li Congxin’s and Daisy’s hairstyles were not disturbed.

As for Nebula, she didn’t have a hairstyle…

Without making a sound, Li Congxin altered the environment around Daisy and Nebula so they would not be affected. At the same time, he looked up and saw a spaceship shaped like a locust descend from the sky and stop some distance in front of them.

"Hahaha!" Accompanied by loud laughter, Yondu led a large group of people out through the opened hatch. As he walked, Yondu grinned and said, "Didn’t expect this, did you, Quill? I caught you again! Let’s see how you—wait, you?"

Yondu had never imagined that he would encounter this fearsome figure in a place like this!

Yondu had personally experienced this man’s abilities. He was absolutely an existence Yondu could not contend with. Especially over the past year, nearly every renowned powerhouse in the universe had been challenged by him. Whether it was Shi’ar Gladiator, the Elders of the Universe, or Galactus’s Emissary, not one had escaped his grasp.

As for Thanos, whom he had taken special care of, he had vanished completely from the universe, with no one knowing which remote corner he had hidden away in.

Prince Li Congxin was now universally acknowledged as the strongest person in the universe. He gave off the distinct impression that unless Galactus appeared, no one could rival him.

Not to mention Yondu—any powerhouse who regularly traveled through the universe would feel their legs tremble when they saw Li Congxin appear opposite them!

Li Congxin smiled faintly, then turned and whispered to Daisy, "What you lack now isn’t strength, but combat experience. Even when dealing with weak opponents, you must strike lethally when the time comes, as long as they deserve to die. Do you understand?"

Daisy nodded seriously.

After being an Avenger for so long, she was no longer the inexperienced young hacker she had once been. By now, her hands had been stained with at least some blood.

However, on Earth, the major bosses had essentially all been claimed by Li Congxin and the veteran Avengers, while the remaining minor opponents had no ability to resist this Sub-Celestial expert. Following the principle of capturing those who could be taken alive rather than killing them, she really had not killed many people.

When it came to humans, even those guilty of the most heinous crimes, Daisy would do her best to subdue them and hand them over to the law. Aliens, however, were another matter…

Seeing that Li Congxin did not respond, a dark-circled man standing beside Yondu stepped forward and sneered. "People on the other side, listen up. You’re surrounded. If you know what’s good for you, hand over that traitor Quill!"

"And the two women behind you—we want them too!"

"Our brothers haven’t had a good time in quite a while!"

"Heh heh heh…"

Yondu had brought more than a hundred men with him. As soon as the dark-circled man said this, a burst of laughter rang out.

Li Congxin’s smile grew even wider. He then asked, "Which of you are interested in the women beside me?"

As he said this, the Soul Stone on Li Congxin’s shoulder suddenly flashed. He had used the Soul Stone’s power to perform an extremely advanced hypnotic technique, causing people to unconsciously obey him and reveal their innermost thoughts.

As the saying went, a person’s reputation cast a shadow like a tree. Li Congxin was indeed famous throughout the universe, but aside from Yondu and his second-in-command Kraglin, none of the others present had ever seen him. Naturally, they would never imagine that this seemingly harmless young man was Prince Li Congxin, who had slain Ronan, crippled Thanos, and swept invincibly across the universe.

Since they did not know who he was, they had no reason to fear him.

Yondu and Kraglin knew how terrifying Li Congxin was. However, when Yondu tried to warn his men, he discovered that some force had completely restrained him. He could not make the slightest movement, nor could he even open his mouth to speak!

The same was true for Kraglin.

Thus, all they could do was watch helplessly as that group of self-important idiots cheered and shouted.

"Me!"

"Me too!"

"I want to take the long-haired one’s ￥%@￥%…"

"I’m more interested in the blue one!"

Amid the laughter of the crowd, aside from a few who remained silent, practically everyone openly admitted that they intended to do something to Daisy and Nebula’s bodies after capturing them.

Li Congxin nodded knowingly, then asked Daisy, "Did you remember them clearly?"

After awakening her Eternals genes, Daisy had also gained a superbrain. Remembering the behavior of more than a hundred people was no problem for her. "I remember all of them. I didn’t miss a single one."

"Good." Li Congxin nodded in satisfaction, then gave the order. "Kill every one of them who deserves to die."
